Simple Cheap Effective Outdoor WiFi Night-vision IP camera

[@Techmoan]

Note about buying this Zmodo camera - It appears this is a slightly older model and the camera has been remodelled recently with a new case and mount - the ebay links in the description (click Show More) will probably bring up details of the newer model instead. Two things to mention to anyone going to ask a predictably silly question (The people who ask about these things definitely won't be reading this). 1)The app will work over the 3G/4G network (as well as WiFi) and I tested this out by viewing my empty back garden whilst sitting at my desk at work 30 miles away. 2) Someone will no doubt ask about whether the camera can record and store video internally (like a dash-cam). I would ask this person to remember the sections of the video where I mentioned that this camera has no SD card slot in it and also contemplate whether I'd accidentally miss off demonstrating a headline feature like this unless it was actually absent from the camera itself.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Seems a squarer case. Still that short bulky lead though, strange they made it way.

[@volkswagenginetta]

i wonder how much influence you carry in the cheap camera market.

[@Techmoan]

fredintheshed1 A long power lead that plugs into the camera itself and an RJ45 socket under a waterproof cover would make a lot more sense to me.

[@OldMacD]

The new model APPEARS to have a shorter stem on the mount which could help overcome the short cables.

[@markybyeah]

Those frame freezes used in editing are annoying!

[@structure7]

I've purchased a fair number of IP cameras over the years and have yet to land one that "checks all the boxes." Glad to see you've added them to your reviews.

[@gregzeng]

1) 12 Volts figure-8 power cable is easy to cut, insert extensions (with or without soldering). Solves the short cable problem; & its only low-amp, low volt power, easily fitting in small holes, etc. 2) Same with the wifi antenna. Buy an antenna extension lead, plus a longer, more powerful antenna. Place the antenna where it easily get the best transmission point. Use a directional antenna if needed. 3) Waterproof by coating all cracks, joints with soft silicon plastic. 4) Camouflage setup by spray-painting, or color-nail-polishing all/ parts of the complete setup. 5) Have a dummy surveillance camera in obvious view to outsiders, but in view of the real camera. 6) Use an external 12volt power supply, wired to the real camera. This may or may not be mains powered. 7) Use ancillary, extra infrared lighting in parts of the view that needs extra lights.

[@filiplaskovski9993]

A good feature to have on these would be to start recording as soon as it detects motion

@Keanu Oakley THANKS Keanu! I'm working on your account now. This is GREAT!

[@scottmccluremcclure3916]

Short wire with that mess outside is a deal breaker Thank you for showing to use

[@Andrew_Sparrow]

The Foscam outdoor cameras have a similar lead arrangement. Once I'd configured it for wireless I simply opened the back up and put all the cables inside (was lots of room) and ran my own power cable through the same hole for the cable and plugged it inside (to clarify I removed the existing cable (unplugged from inside and could just about thread the internal connector through the cable hole, reconnected it and ran a new cable inside through the hole to plug in again -if that makes sense :p )

[@michaelrcrilly]

Fantastic video. I'm not in the faintest bit interested by IP cameras but I was still entertained for the duration of the video. Well done and thank you.

[@MattTester]

This looks like great value for money. Interesting to see how the IR performed, I've ordered an IR illuminator to combine with my IR sensing bullet camera this weekend. I don't know how it will perform but it has many more LEDs than the camera so I'm quite confident that it will work well. I may attempt a review of the kit combination myself.

[@halfmanhalftenor]

Just bought this from Amazon. It has a different cable setup now, just a single miniUSB power connector, no ethernet connection required, This is a lot simpler, less cabling to deal with, but there's still an connection to be made about 20cm from the camera. The instructions are quite confusing, different instructions available in different places, but got it running eventually, works well.

[@w_i_k_i_d]

Really good review. Very informative and nicely done. For those of you who don't know:- 12:03 59 pounds = 26761.9 grams.

[@Knittyneeds]

Hi. I wanna thank you sincerely for this fantastic well explained video tutorial. I was wondering why my camera wouldn't capte WIFI. I plugged it on the Ethernet as explained and then unplugged as mentioned in the notice. But then I was waiting for my camera to be connected to WIFI, OFFLINE and it didn't connect.. Here is the truth and verdict after waching your video... I didn't go to my WIFI SETTINGS and the problem lay there. So I set my camera to WIFI SETTINGS and by MAGIC my camera read ONLINE. I almost eturned this excellent camera through "ignorance" this afternoon, lucky I was tired. I am so proud of you that you helped me keep this camera. I have the same brand for indoors and it worked so well but I didn 't have to connect it to the Ethernet, it got connected to WIFI immediately. I thought by already installing a camera there was sufficient information and I didn't need to re-connect to WIFI. You are such a blessing to me. Thanks for making me smile and thanks for sharing and caring xxx

[@bunbunson27]

Hey Techmoan, you should look at the hikvision cameras, specifically the DS-2cd2032-i. They record up to 3mp and cost around $100. Its not wireless, but you can connect a ethernet cable and use POE so it only uses one wire to connect to the camera. Night vision with its IR is pretty poor though, the IR leds on them are only good up to 10 yards.

[@malcolmcrawford4045]

Very well demonstrated presentation of all the setting up of zmodo wireless camera. Including all the observations of the quirky niggles of the short cumming s of the supplied instruction sheet.Thanks for the info, now got mine installed fully.

[@kennys5819]

A cut into segments bicycle tube, a bit of caulking, and a couple of zip ties work well for waterproofing a wire harness like that.

[@MegaSunspark]

Nice video as always. Loved your "root" 66, route 66 tantrum.

[@twocvbloke]

I modified my IP cam (not quite the same as this one, mostly cos it's wired and pretty much a completely different camera!!) by lopping off the bulky connector (mine thankfully had a foot-long cable before the bundle of mess), mapping out the wires (Tx & Rx + & -, Power (Cam), Power (IR LEDs) and flashing status LEDs which were pointless so left them out) and snapping on an RJ45 plug after passing it through my doorframe, then connected that to a coupler then to a Cat5E cable and using a PoE injector I sent power up to it with the wallwart set away from where the camera is sited and hooked it up to a roooooter and it works great... :)

[@moejoe3825]

Was looking for an inexpensive camera for my front porch. After watching your review and doing some research, I"m going with the Zmodo! Thanks!

[@riborickertt]

Best Teachmoan, The windows software is NOT ESSENTIAL to set time and date things. You can look up the ip of the camera and when you put that in your browser, you will get the same settings, preview etc..

[@HarunOzgun]

That spaghetti junction wiring from the rear of the camera no doubt took years of hard work and research to come up with.

[@doccool1104]

Really like this informative video. Router . . . Rooter . . . explanation is perfect and I agree English in America is confusing sometimes. The rest is "very well done" . . . . (Please use a British Accent). Consider me a regular user when I need any tech info. "Thanks again" (In American English here).

[@MrEye4get]

Power is always a challenge. I use a small plastic utility box to house the connections and waterproof the system. Advise you first check WiFi connection before installing. My WiFi router can't reach some of the cameras outside the house. Limited use but 1-2 might be practical inside your house of business.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Oh something I ve been thinking about, cheers Matt. Happy New Year.

[@MrAlex3461]

That QR on the side to pair the devices is cool ;)

[@KaiMiano]

Could we have a new review of current security cameras? Our gate is 50 meters away from the house and we'd like to see who is in front of it - combinations with an 8 bell also speaking and hearing system...?? Thank you!

[@brickmansions4]

What's the point of having a camera running 24/7 that doesn't record? I can't think of a single use for this, unless you go on the app one day when you're out and you happen to be being burgled and you can then record...

[@danwoodward23]

Because it saves and emails images when motion is detected

[@olestas]

No point. Video must be recorded on external server or NVR.

[@danwoodward23]

olestas it would be better to show the police the still images of your burglars faces than nothing at all Pedro.

[@olestas]

Dan Woodward I was replying to first post. As I said, normally network cameras must stream the video to special recording device or at least sd card. And what was that pedro for?

[@danwoodward23]

olestas I thought you were replying to me sorry. And Pedro because the first part of your name sounds a bit Spanish. No offence intended lol

[@videomentaryproductionschannel]

Hmm looks to be good value for money, ok you may have as you said sort out wiring a bit depending on where your going to install the Camera, as usual a good demo, nice video

[@quaxk]

AFAIC your pronunciation of router is the correct one since that's how we pronounce it in french and router is a french word

[@stevec2196]

I think it's worth mentioning that in order to record the video on a network DVR the camera has to be ONVIF compliant. That appears to be a new standard for 720P and 1080P cameras and I never ran into it before I got the DVR. It's not mentioned in the specs but I asked Zmodo about it and they said that all their IP cams are ONVIF compatible. I have some older D-Link IP cams that won't work since the DVR can't connect to them. kb.zmodo.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=18&id=308&artlang=en

[@divery4eyes]

a little something that i learned................ get some of those little solar powered leds lights and place then where the camera does not see so well. a led puts out an amazing amount of light, visible and non visible. dont believe me? take your tv or whatever remote and go outside and point it at your camera standing about 30 feet away. go inside and look at the recording, you will be able to see the individual pulses from that distance and greater even. the little solar powered lights act like almost range extenders for the night vision while adding a little bit of visible light

[@voipportland6911]

No disrespected to Techmoan - one of my favorite reviewers - I would stick to Hikvision cameras. They are 1080p and rock solid. A Wifi INDOOR/covered camera with audio for about $130 on Ebay. Their 2032 bullet POE camera is the go-to standard now for just about any camera enthusiast. About $95 on Ebay. MUCH better performance than the Zmodo --- remember you must get power to even a 'wireless' camera anyway - so go with POE when ever possible. Cheap 720p cameras - don't waste your time. The resolution will not allow you to ID a face in most lighting. 1080p now or nothing.

[@kevinkilloy7608]

I totally agree with you. I installed the Zmodo 4 camera 720p NVR camera system. Good for $189.00 with no HDD, but two cameras have failed in the first year. Save your money and buy the Hikvision cameras.

[@bradfordzone5187]

You can get a 12v extension cable of up to 10m which connects to the camera and the power adaptor

[@xVisuaLxEffects]

Is it weird that I live in Georgia, USA, and "fiddly" has now become part of my regular vocabulary? Thanks, Matt.

[@Techmoan]

xVisuaLxEffects I didn't think that it might be a UK colloquialism - but now you mention it, I can't say I recall anyone from the US saying it on a TV show.

[@xVisuaLxEffects]

Over here, it has prompted either subtle eyebrow shifts, or the other person actually repeating the word back to me inquisitively during conversation. Odd how geography makes such a difference. Thanks for your response!

[@ComPrt3]

Hmmmmm.... A wireless camera that needs wires! An interesting concept.

[@Techmoan]

[@ComPrt3]

+Techmoan Its been known to happen. . . . . . From time to time. . . . .

[@kyanhluong]

+ComPrt3 of course, it need wires just to tell the camera to connect to what wifi with what password

[@harshaprasad555]

This is an outdoor device, routers are placed inside so its easy to run power to it. The point of making a wireless camera is not to have wires running to it.What if you live in an apartment complex and your apartment is in the middle of the complex but you have to set up a camera outside to oversee the parking lot?. Run power from a different apartment?.

[@gyver471]

[@ttss5726]

Great review tho lacking compared to the others u have done. Would have been nice to see some video with movement in it to get an idea of how well it is or isn't. No mention of is the video can save to a network storage? How much delay is there from movement from real time? You say the IR is invisible to the naked eye are you saying they don't turn red at night like other night time cameras that use IR?

[@christopherdonohue6913]

Can you rewind to get footage that you did not record while in process? I'm guessing you have to always be recording and only saving the footage if/when necessary, is this how you would go about having footage in the case an event did happen and you needed the footage for a case or investigation? Thank you for your video and assistance.

[@TheRealMrCods]

Another great review :) Thankyou I was actually looking for something like this.

[@HarunOzgun]

amzn.to/2u1oFNH I used this product, I am glad, I would recommend it to you

[@atms001]

I wonder if the windows software has video recording in motion detection?

[@WinstonSmith1984]

Is it able use FTP for motion detection alerts? I would have liked to see how well it supports ONVIF by using it with an open source ONVIF client such as "ONVIF Device Manager". I only buy cameras that support ONVIF because I don't want to be dependent on rubbish and proprietary Chinese software and sometimes intermediate servers that they connect to (and do who knows what with your data). Another important thing to consider, is can the WIFI key be retrieved if the thing is stolen.

[@frankie65th]

It was probably coded for android, hence it being slighty better. good video.

[@powernumpty]

Another great review served "dry". I had an external Foscam clone and the motion detection combined with a narrow field of view was completely useless, email arrives showing the scene a couple of seconds after the trigger has left the view, there is little more annoying than knowing something has happened in front of a security camera but not getting a clue what. Email triggers should be fast, send the email out quickly and get back to motion detection, the worst are slow to respond, hang while sending and won't send another email quickly. Would be good to test those triggers before trusting they work in real life, I.E. move quickly past the camera at night.

[@cretsinger]

Label on camera includes the log in ID (admin) and the password (111111). NOT very secure as non tech savvy people may not change this. Suggest resetting the default if not prompted upon configuration to your router and cover the label with duct tape.

[@johnnybravo8192]

Hi. I would like to ask whether there is a way to mount the camera onto wall without screws, like some sticky magnetic mount or something? Or if there is very similar model to this that has those magnetic mounts instead of having to screw it into the wall or something? Thanks. Nice video.

[@ChipXMBR]

Hi does this camera work when your away from home on a mobile network? Thanks and great review

[@idk8964]

yes i do say route 66 (rowt 66) roots are part of plants in the ground.

[@abelurbina2003]

In our place remote area where thunder and lighting are frequent. Every time the thunder or lighting flashed these considered motion. It means I received email or text messages alert.

[@XOIIOXOIIO]

Can you drop the IP into third party software to grab the video feed like "dumber" ones without an app? I'm also wondering if you can just put the IP in a browser to get a video feed/interface? Great video though I did not know there were wifi IP cameras this cheap that worked well outside of axis or other expensive brands.

[@Lachlant1984]

Hmm, interesting camera, I'm very surprised that the camera doesn't set its internal clock and calendar via NTP or something like that. Clearly the software for the camera needs some work, really it should be possible to set everything up via whatever platform you're using, you shouldn't need to use the Windows app to set date and time and motion activation settings in an ideal world. Have you thought about reviewing the Piper smart security camera? It's really a combination surveillance camera and security alarm system.

[@jumpyX2]

There's a Tenvis version of this camera. Is there a techmoan video on setting up the remote viewing of them? Ie the ip elements. . Very complicated

[@cbreeling1]

I have a different use in mind. Do you think it would work to video amateur indoor sporting events to then put on my website for replaying if people couldn't make the match? (would use 2 cameras). What would you suggest to use to store the video on for this use? I think you do a great job of reviewing products and give a fair evaluation

[@baddevotions]

Thanks for this! i spent a fair amount of time trying to work out how to change the time on the sodding thing.

[@future__vr]

Just bought one, but was a bit confused, Primarily I am interested in the take still images when camera detects motion function. Does this have to be set up via PC? I notice the android app stores some still images on the phone when motion is detected. Does the PC app need to be running all the time or after the setting up would it work just fine without? Also as mentioned I have no access to shared apartment complex router for setup, but do have an old wireless router lieing around. Is it possible to connect to this offline router and the phone to the routers wireless just to turn on the cameras wireless, from there connect the camera to the third party wifi network and then the phone also? Thanks in advance! Great videos!

[@UpcomingJedi]

Can you describe the quality of the mounting screws? The ones mine comes with seem to be made out of soft lead. A little torque...and...snap.

[@abelurbina2003]

I say these because when there are thunder and lighting the car alarm also activated the same procedure with the IP camera

[@johncritchley9199]

First of all I must say a massive thanks to you ;) I got myself a nice SJCAM now thanks to your review on it. Im wanting to learn alot more about high frame rate cameras because I love slow motion videos, I learnt from you about the fake high fps cams saying for example that 60fps was really 30fps with 2 of the same frames shown, if you know what I mean, I would love you to do some cool new videos on budget high frame rate cameras, if there will be any lol we now have the apple iphone 6 with its 240 fps and I wonder if it really is a true 240fps ? Im hoping soon they will start bringing out cheaper cams like the Iphone 6. Many thanks for your hard work and Happy New Year mate ;) From ANTON ;)

Even for 2015, this whole setup seems obscenely impractical and contrived. Nice.

[@andrewtechful]

So I am wondering if something like this would work well as a webcam? I have always wanted to hook up a webcam in the ceiling of my room to record videos and stream with and also be able to show my desk/studio area from above but I have always ran into the problem of having a webcams that run short on wire and when I connect them through an extender, they either don't work or work but with a VERY lower quality than when it was plugged directly in the PC.

[@valhar2000]

With WIFI or an ethernet cable, it should work. USB cables do not work well when they are too long: I've had that problem with all kinds of USB devices connected to extension cables. I have an Ethernet cable that is 30m long and it works perfectly, so I would expect that to work for you too. WIFI is also an option, but it depends on how the signal is in your house, and having this camera hogging your WIFI network could reduce the performance of other WIFI devices in your house.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Can you get this to work to a computer instead of a cell phone? That is, can I have a computer on my wireless network that is running an app or something that is listening for the cameras to store incoming video to be able to review at the end of the day?

[@BBXFX]

Newbie here! I want a motion detected video clip to be uploaded to the cloud directly as it's happening in case the camera is ripped off the wall/table/ceiling. Using FTP or cloud of my choice seems better than relying on a company & their website that may vanish a few years later like others have commented. read on... 1. Must a computer be turned on to record these motion detected clips or are they directly streamed to this company's website from the camera through the wifi rOOter :) ? 2.Is a photo then sent in an email linking to the video clip stored on the cloud service of my choice or....? I have only today learned of the software titles mentioned by other commenters so... Thanks & as usual, TECHMOAN is a great place to learn about all these consumer gadgets and more. Any replies are welcome or links to great websites good for a newb home security investor like myself to learn more. I could google it, but maybe you have a nice suggestion already. also coincidentally, I saw the videos below just a few minutes ago, then decided to Peek on Techmoan for some reviews. enjoy... home cameras in action.

[@jamesrobinson5672]

As a night owl pro owner, beware of the bullet camera that has plastic mounting. I was happy with the (homeowner) quality of the the system. However, after about 1 year I was cleaning and re adjusting the cams, when it snapped right off the ball mount., making it unusable. Over a short time the plastic became very brittle. So I now have several bullet cams that are broken.

@Techmoan +Techmoan could you tell me if this camera will record to the android tablet if set up to record video on motion detection, and if it stops recording again when the scene is still again? I appreciate this video was a while ago but any help would be great. Thanks!

@Techomoan, I was wondering would this cam work with iSpy? (it's free and works great with my old Wireless cams) I use iSpy 64 on my Windows 7 PC. Others use Blue Iris (not free) just wondering if you have used iSpy with this Zmodo camera. And thank you for your excellent video review on this camera.
